normalexit@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Tesla US registrations slide 16% in April, new data shows3·2 days agoI agree it is surprisingly low. I do wonder how many red hats bought one when Elon and Trump were still dating?
normalexit@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•They are officially known as string trimmers. Where are you geographically and what do you call them?6·3 days agoI feel like weed Whacker/Eater are brands like Kleenex. In my head it is a string trimmer.
I usually say “I’m going to trim the yard”.

Hudson, now there is a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.

I think the grammar and capitalization is too normal. The president isn’t smart enough to write something coherent.
normalexit@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?3·11 days agoIt really comes down to the calculus of how much I like them vs what did they actually do (with some things being truly unforgivable).
For example, Sylvester Stallone recently came out in big support of Trump. To me, that makes him a huge ass. That said, I’ll still watch Rocky 4 if it comes on (all the while, in the back of my head thinking “wow, really, Trump… that’s your guy?”). So my perception of him and his movies change, but also it’s his right to be an idiot.
In the same vein, Rob Schneider has recently made his whole personality a bitter old conservative "comic’. He really brings little of value to the table, so he can easily be dismissed. His value/drama ratio isn’t worth giving him the time of day – we’ll outside of this example.
I can’t totally divorce the person from their content, but I try when their stuff is great and what they did isn’t too repulsive.
normalexit@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?2·11 days agoYeah honestly I debated putting that one in. Under the Bridge is a solid song, and flea and the drummer are independently good.
Honestly just wanted to remind people he admitted to dating a 16 year old when he was 24.
normalexit@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?17·11 days agoYou have to be incredibly good at something for me to ignore you being an asshole. There are also certain things that are unforgivable even if the art is good.
It’s like Cosby was funny, but he drugged and raped people, so it’s hard to laugh at him now.
Recently switched to a new contract, which resulted in me switching from IDEA Ultimate to vscode. This picture is terribly accurate.
In intellij I usually do code reviews by checking out the code and comparing the branch to origin/main to step through the changes. Just a right click menu option to compare branches.
I took for granted that this is just a thing IDEs should do, so I looked in vain for a while before googling it and finding out I need a plugin for that. (If I’m wrong please help me find the button, I still believe it must be in there somewhere. Surely the owners of GitHub can compare branches?)

They are all gross now that I know more about them; some moreso than others.

Steve Bannon talked about other options for a third term, but wouldn’t elaborate. Absolutely a lever the current administration would pull.
normalexit@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Top Jan. 6 prosecutor Greg Rosen resigns from DOJ, says Trump pardons sent "terrible message"4·11 days agoThe article states he is leaving for a new job, so my guess is he has been interviewing and considering his options.
Nice work!
I can only consume so much bad news before I go binge watch something funny or a show where good triumphs over evil.
It might be learned helplessness, but right now there don’t seem to be a lot of things normal citizens can do. Crazy people took over, and all the protesting and pleading in the world won’t prevent them from doing what they want to do.
My guess is the protests will be escalated by the administration. Maybe they’ll toss in a few paid agitators. A cop or ice agent gets shot. Trump makes a rambling speech about law and order. Declares martial law and becomes a real dictator. The protests have been largely cool so far and it is obvious that is not that he is looking for.
Anyways yeah, sorry I’m going to watch some TV and dissociate.
